President Donald Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to work on releasing grand jury transcripts about Jeffrey Epstein in response to criticism over the handling of the case.

The big question on the tips of many political watchers’ tongues right now is whether the Trump administration’s botched handling of the Epstein files will do what virtually nothing has yet: turn President Donald Trump’s devoted base against him.

President Trump filed a $10 billion dollar libel lawsuit over the Wall Street Journal’s report on Jeffrey Epstein. It comes after a rare reversal from Trump, who is now calling for the release of grand jury material in the Epstein case.

President Donald Trump’s call to make public a subset of grand jury records stemming from the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein falls far short of the total release of documents his supporters have demanded.

With backlash from his base not abating, the Justice Dept. asked a federal judge to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's 2019 indictment.
